Text Analysis: Measuring the Mayor’s Words
This keyword cloud analyzes the text of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's first State of the City speech, delivered April 18.
What are keyword clouds? You've seen these on Flickr and some blogging sites. They list commonly-occurring words in a body of text, giving greater visual weight to those that appear more often. They're used for distilling a large amount of text into something that can be processed in a glance. Of course, they lack any kind of context, but who needs that? (We're kidding.)
Hold your mouse over a word for a moment to see how many times it appeared in the text of the speech.
